Glasgow Lindyhoppers are delighted to bring you Swing Patrol teachers Maddie Dailly and James David Smith for a lindy hop workshop this July!

Designed for intermediate dancers and above, this one-day workshop aims to give you a strong foundation and some fun moves to kick your social dancing up a notch.

In the morning we’ll focus on the elusive concept of frame.
What is it? How do we use it? How can it improve your leading and following skills?
We’ll work on exercises to give you a better sense of what feels good, and progress on to more fancy moves to test your new skills out.

In the afternoon we’ll throw lots of moves at you to jazz up your social dancing repertoire – and some solid technique too!

If you’re signing up with a partner one person will need to book and pay for both people at the same time.

James has been dancing since 2010. He’s competed and social danced around Europe and the US. Maddie has danced in more dark, sweaty jazz clubs than she can remember; she started Southside Swing in Glasgow and occasionally taught for GLH before moving back south. Both former members of Swing Patrol’s Skyliners troupe, Maddie and James teach together every week at Swing Patrol Peckham.

After our awesome live band last week, join us this Monday for another special night!

Just a few days after World Lindy Hop Day you can join GLH to learn Frankie Manning’s Shim Sham. The Shim Sham is a lindy hop stroll, which means you dance solo. Our very own Claire Craig will be teaching this one and it’s suitable for all levels of dancer.

If you’ve ever been interested in performing with GLH we often use the Shim Sham, so it’s a great routine to know. If performing isn’t your thing then it’s still really fun to learn, and you will find it danced all over the world.
